Don’t Forget the Ice
Partnerships are about helping one another and supporting your partner in their endeavors. Sometimes, simple support doesn’t cut it, though. Especially when it comes to having enough food in a house with kids. This husband was hoping to get out of the chore of grocery shopping because there was a long line at the store. Definitely not a justified reason.
His ever-loving wife didn’t let him off the hook though, she just reminded him to get ice. Honestly, having had to deal with ‘hangry’ toddlers myself, I wouldn’t let him off either. You had one job, you might as well get it right. Besides, what good would it be to leave the store now? He’d just have to come back at a later hour. If anything, she did him a favor by telling him to see it through.
